Ire: A Prologue

Ire: A Prologue is a first-person, single-player psychological horror game where players must unravel a complex mystery while avoiding a sinister creature that stalks them at every turn. Introduced as a prequel experience, it's aimed at players drawn to focused, story-rich games, with the ambition of establishing the foundation for a potentially recurring horror franchise. Developed by veteran worldbuilders Matt Case (Bungie, HBO) and CJ Cowan (Bungie), the Ire universe is designed to deliver fresh, unsettling chronicles with rich lore and immersive environments. In Ire: A Prologue, players will navigate through the memories of a young teenager named Emily, trapped on a boat in the Bermuda Triangle with a monster relentlessly hunting them. As players loop through various memories of her experience, they begin to piece together what happened to Emily and the crew of the ship, with each loop revealing new secrets and new stories.

  • First-person narrative horror game set aboard an abandoned ship in the Bermuda Triangle
  • Use stealth mechanics to play hide and seek with a monster that hunts you and reacts to your actions
  • From walkie-talkies to wind-up alarm clocks, find, use, and assemble tools to distract and outwit the monster
  • Search each room for journals, cassettes, and discarded items to learn the truth of what happened to the missing crew
  • Survive 13 loops through the abandoned ship, revealing more of the narrative each time
  • Built in Unreal Engine 5 for an immersive atmosphere that elevates the tension
  • Full 3D spatial audio with 7.1 surround sound
  • Fully voiced narrative and memorable characters
  • Haunting orchestral score recorded at Treasure Isle Studios with the Nashville Recording Orchestra
  • Tension System – Ambience, music, and breathing respond to your actions, building suspense in real time
